1. Carefully remove the TV Wireless Headphones from the packaging.

2. The ON/OFF switch on the back of the Transmitter Base has 4 positions. Make sure the switch

on the back of the Transmitter Base is switched to “ON / Channel 1.”

Switch Positions:

OFF (uppermost position)

ON / Ch. 1

ON / Ch. 2

ON / Ch. 3 (bottom position)

3. Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. Connect the power cord to the Transmitter Base (DC 5V

input). When the unit detects power, a BLUE LED will illuminate.

4. Decide which audio option you will use to connect the Transmitter Base to your TV. (We

recommend the “optical” connection because it is the easiest and also provides the highest quality

audio.) The optical audio cable is the thin black cable (approx. 38” long) included in the package.

5. Remove the protective plastic caps from BOTH ENDS of the optical audio cable.

6. Connect one end of the optical audio cable to your TV (Optical output). Connect the other end

to the Transmitter Base (Optical input). When the Transmitter Base detects an audio signal, a

BLUE LED will illuminate. NOTE: If your TV does NOT have an Optical output, you may connect your

Transmitter Base to your cable box. If these options are not available, you can ALSO connect your

TV Wireless Headphones to the TV or cable box via RCA cable or 3.5mm headphone cable (both

included). Consult your owner’s manual for details.

7. Turn ON the headphones by pressing the POWER button located on the right ear cup. When

the headphones are on, a GREEN LED will illuminate on the headphones. You will hear the audio

through the headphones and the TV. Now you can adjust the TV volume and/or the headphone

volume to suit all of the viewers in the room.

CHARGING YOUR HEADPHONES

TV Wireless Headphones should arrive partially charged. After your initial setup, we recommend

charging the headphones until they are fully charged.

To charge the TV Wireless Headphones, press the POWER button on the headphones to turn them

OFF. Then, place the headphones on top of the Transmitter Base. Make sure the headphones are

touching the charging sensors on top of the Transmitter Base to ensure proper connection. A full

charge may take up to 5 and provide up to 20 hours of listening enjoyment.

Charge Light Indicators

RED Headphones are charging.

BLUE Headphones are fully charged or in use.

When not in use, turn oﬀ the headphones and store them on the Transmitter Base. This way, they

will always be charged and ready when you want to use them.

For troubleshooting and other technical information, please consult the owner’s manual in this

package or download it from our website.

CONNECTING YOUR TV

1. The TV Wireless Headphones can be connected to the TV three diﬀerent ways:

Headphone Jack — Use the included 3.5mm audio cable. Plug one end into the TV headphone

jack. Plug the other end into the Audio In jack on the back of the transmitter base.

Audio Out — Check to see if your TV has red and white Audio Out jacks (also called RCA jacks). If so,

connect the included RCA to 3.5mm adapter cable to the Audio Out jacks on your TV. Then connect

the included 3.5mm cable to the adapter, and plug the other end of the 3.5mm cable into the Audio

In jack on the back of the transmitter base.

Digital Optical Cable — Many new TVs do not have a headphone jack or Audio Out jacks. If this

is the case, you must use the optical output on your TV. This jack is also called “optical audio,”

“TOSLINK” or “Digital Audio Out (Optical).” Plug the included ﬁber optic cable into this jack on your

TV. Then plug the other end into the Optical input on the back of the transmitter base. NOTE: Please

be sure to check the shape of the Digital Optical Cable before you plug it in. The shape of the cable

must align with the shape of the jack. Please be sure to remove the clear caps on both ends of the

Digital Optical Cable before use. Please be sure the 3.5mm Audio Cable is not plugged in before

use of the Digital Optical Cable, or it will default to the Audio Out mode.

2. When the transmitter base is connected to the TV, turn on the power on both the transmitter base

and your TV. Now turn on the TV. The Audio light on the transmitter base will turn BLUE. NOTE: Make

sure your TV is not on mute.

interference. Select channel 1, 2, or 3 by sliding the Power button on the base,

then you can select to connect the headphones by pressing the SCAN button on

the left side of the headphones. Each transmitter can connect more than 1 pair of

headphones at the same time with the same channel.

base in order to recharge.

(with a smartphone, tablet, laptop, MP3 player, etc.).

Plug the other end into your mobile device.

• To conserve battery power, be sure headphones are powered oﬀ when using them as wired

headphones.
